The art is what catches my eye the most.
The Darkness is a series that has always had some amazing art. But when you get DC entities like Joker and Batman into The Darkness style you now get some crazy looking scenes! I'm really enjoying it!Just don't order if you have multiple different sized books in the same package. Amazon has a hard time properly packing these and it will cause a dent or crease in your books due to them shuffling around the box with deflated bubble wrap.

Interesting
Interesting but, not as much actual interaction with batman as I'd thought there would be. Not enough to pull me into reading about his world. But kinda cool

Great Book, Poor Condition Upon Receipt
Love the graphic novel, but the book arrived in poor condition. Corner was bent and broken on bottom. Corner was bent on top. Whole cover was bent out on side, wouldn't even lay flat. 2 Stars for an awesome graphic novel. no stars for condition of product.

This isn't the Garth Ennis yr looking for.
I wouldn't even recommend this to hardcore Garth Ennis fans such as myself. A screamingly unoriginal character, "The Darkness," does comic book cliches that were tired in the 1980's. Lots of women w/ pneumatic breasts, if that's your thing. And who isn't jonesing for more Mafia cliches? Nothing much in the way of plot, dialogue, etc., either, never mind intricacies such as characterization. Ennis fans and would-be fans are much better served looking at almost anything else he's written, but esp. The Boys, Red Rover Charlie, or any of his war tales. Any Image comic fans should also steer clear... hard to believe this the same publisher as the mighty Saga by Brian K. Vaughan.Glad I bought it used. Not even worth passing along to a pal or selling back; look out, Goodwill, here the Darkness comes!

Absolutely unreadable
I have read some bad comic books/graphic novels (whatever title you're most comfortable with) but this is one of the worst. I'll skip over the crossovers with Batman and Superman that are here purely to up the page count and go straight to the actual story, written by Garth Ennis (yes he's got his fair share of bad scripts under his belt, but this is an exception; definitely phoned-in as he tries to give Image as much of an Image series as possible). 'For mature readers' is often tossed about in this form of media and if it is in regards to an Image title you can definitely assume it means the pages are decapitations, women with great bodies in outfits that could be replicated with a single thread of cotton and curse words. Image, bar a title or two here and there, focus on material for people in their early teens to purchase and leave around for their parents to find and be infuriated by. This book is a prime example.

A lot of Content
This book Has the Batman and Superman Crossover one shots AND the first 5 issues of the Darkness Series. The two DC stories are good. Marc Silvestris artwork of batman and Superman are beautiful. Seeing his Splash page of the Joker is a sight to behold. Get the book if you like Silvestris artwork, want to read the crossovers or if you want the first 5 issues of the Darkness with the added bonus of the crossovers. I wish it was in a deluxe oversized format. The artwork is beautiful, especially if you are used to the DC and Marvel House art styles.
